While this was the first time Brown was spotted publicly since being released, he also addressed the matter on social media immediately after he was let go.

“I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT OF CAP! NNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEERRRRRR!!!!!! FOR MY DAUGHTER AND MY FAMILY THIS IS SO DISRESPECTFUL AND IS AGAINST MY CHARACTER AND MORALS!!!!!” he wrote in a since-deleted Instagram post.

Still, French prosecutors maintain the investigations “are not closed at this stage.”

In the meantime, Brown is suing his purported rape victim for defamation.
